VICA’s Committees are an important part of the Board of Directors‘ function and responsibilities. They have been established to assist with meeting the Association’s goals, objectives, and ultimately, its mission.

Under 40 & Young Builders Network have created a young executive’s network that helps provide an atmosphere to build relationships within the construction community and to support and promote careers in the industry. The networks also serve to present information, professional development, and leadership or mentorship opportunities that will benefit the individual U40/YBN members and their respective companies. Young Builders Network in Victoria meets once per month and Central Island U40 meets every two months. Both chapters hold special events throughout the year.
